Durham, DCDSB offer plumbing, electrical dual credit courses to high school students

Durham College and the Durham Catholic District School Board (DCDSB) have expanded their partnership to bring dual credit programming to Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School in Ajax. Notre Dame students will be able to enrol in a construction technology class, which is taught by both a high school teacher and a Durham instructor. Upon completion of the class, the students will earn both a high school credit and a Durham basic plumbing credit, which counts towards Durham’s Trade Fundamentals program. Starting this September, students will also have access to a dual credit course that will allow them to earn a Durham Trade Fundamentals basic electrical credit.
